But there's no reason this confusion! As a matter of fact, as soon as you learn the difference between head voice and falsetto, you'll be amazed at how much easier it is to hear the difference.

In today's video, I'm going to show you the difference between the main vocal registers, what creates the difference in sound, and how to actually find and refine falsetto in your voice.

To get started, you need to know the difference between the two main vocal registers. The two main vocal registers are called chest voice and head voice. And basically, the largest difference between the two is that in chest voice, the vocal folds are thick and closing completely. In head voice, the vocal folds are thinner and closing less.

While head voice and falsetto share the same range of notes, the difference between them is really small. Actually, head voice and falsetto are just two ways of singing the exact same note.

The primary difference between head voice and falsetto is that in falsetto, just the outer edges of the vocal cords vibrate and in head voice, more of the vocal cords or a vibrating, they have more body, and therefore there is some connection to the chest voice.

If you're looking for different examples of falsetto and songs, take a look at the song Reckoner by Radiohead, Skinny Love by Bon Iver, and Want to Want Me by Jason Derulo.

The fact of the matter is that falsetto can be used for a fantastic vocal effect! However, there's a lot more control, power and richness in the sound of a full head voice. So I would recommend learning to control singing in your head voice before only singing in falsetto.

Often times, if you sing in just falsetto, there is a really breathy and flutey sound. This is not optimal for many of the notes in the range. So if that's a problem for you, I'm going to show you to exercises right now to improve your falsetto.

In the first exercise, I'm going to show you a vocal warm up that will help you if your high notes are weak because you're backing off too much. In this case, it's the octave repeated bratty “Nay” exercise.

For our second exercise, if you feel that your top notes are breathy and falsetto because you're actually pushing in too much, we'll try an exercise to help you loosen up those top notes. In this case it will be the octave and a half and key exercise as in geese.

Regardless of what exercise is working for you, continue to work on it so that you can continue developing your falsetto into a fuller head boys. It's always easier to go from a fuller sound to a thinner sound, than it is from a thinner sound to a fuller one.
